Content Headers

The descriptive section used to manage a content item's lifecycle and its relationship with other content is called the front matter. S.H.E.V.K.Y. uses this structure to customize content during the build process.

Unlike the site.json and i18n.json configuration files provided by S.H.E.V.K.Y., the front matter allows you to define fields specific to each piece of content, giving you more flexibility.

The YAML headers placed between the --- lines at the top of every .md file are used during the build.
